Banana - Fruit

Bananas are in the shape of a long curving cylinder. The bottom end narrows to a point and
the top end has a thick stem that attaches the fruit to the
inflorescence stalk. A small group of bananas is termed "hands".
Hands are collectively known as "bunches". Banana skin is
smooth and thick, and often has a few vertical ridges that
run the length of the fruit. The flesh is creamy white and
soft.

Bananas are usually yellow (green when unripe), but there are also
red and brown cultivars. This red cultivar is smaller and stubbier than
the yellow
banana.
